INAUGURATION OF PROF KENNETH DIKE AS VICE CHANCELLOR UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN 1963

I took this rare photo in November 1963 on the University of Ibadan campus. Left is Prof Kenneth Dike, the first Nigerian Vice-Chancellor of the University. With him is Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, the Nigerian Prime Minister, who was on campus for his installation as Chancellor of the University. Balewa was killed during the first military coup in February 1966; Dike returned to eastern Nigeria at the start of the Biafran war.
